Christmas single called "Christmas Time (don't let the bells end)" which
looks like being the Christmas number 1. It seems that everyone's in on the
joke now.
Ya know..I laughed like hell the first time I saw their videos, (still do), but after a bit I started to really like "I believe in a thing called love" and bought the disc. I like about 3/4 of the record alot and the rest is pretty
cornball/sophmoric(especially "dancin' on a friday night") And, lord, they do love saying the "f" word.
But the guitar playing and songwriting is totally Sweet/glam/AC/DC and strangely a bit like Foreigner?
If that sounds appealing- try it...
later, joe
